in my corner of PA here, the game commission will allow whatever is feasible to smash as many deer as possible, a few friends of mine that i waterfowl with got into the crossbow thing simply because it takes alot less to get good with a crossbow than it does with a bow. for the most part i am still happy to just have them in the woods with me however, i have seen a few things that make me say hmmm, walking deer going down like they got hit by dump trucks after taking a bolt through both shoulders, deer springing up as we walk into our stands that get whacked with a rifle like snap shot, one of my buddies fired three bolts in his life ten minutes before harvesting his first deer with the crossbow, a near perfect shot i might add. although we all enjoy the game, these friends dont feel the pride or brag that they got an archery deer, we call them arrow rifles. what really set the crossbow apart for us all is the fact that 12 deer among 5 guys died on crossbow drives in about a week last year, you guys do that with the bow? part of me says live and let kill, part of me says if you crossbow the buck of a lifetime and brag about your archery kill, you might as well snag a 28 inch rainbow in the tail and put it on the wall. always a hot topic this crossbow
